Contrary to current uses, where the term is *unconsciously*
fuzzy.

Specifically for the case discussed in this thread,
even types and operations on types are obects:

    2.4 Type Annotations:
    http://slate.tunes.org/doc/progman/node10.html

    The type system and inference system in Slate is part
    of the standard library, .. 

also see 2.12 Types (http://slate.tunes.org/doc/progman/node25.html).

So, is up to you to define a correct method of subtyping and
so a correct subtype relation (wich is different from establishing
a behavioral equivalence relation), in terms of the underline
Slate semantics.

Regards.
